| NOTES ON CARRIAGEWAY MARKING 8.9 The standard Bus Stop carriageway marking comprises of a rectangular box parallel to the kerbside and contains the words “BUS STOP The Traffic Signs Regulations (Northern Ireland), 1997 10, permit this marking to be laid in yellow.This marking is supported by a hour parking ban, (See Diagram 8b).A corresponding marking exists for bus stops located in a lay-by, (See Diagram 8c). ������������������� ���� ���� ��� ��� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ������� Diagram b – Bus bay carriageway markings 10 Traffic Sign Regulations (Northern Ireland, 1997 55 8.

Each application requires individual advertisement providing an opportunity for objection.There is a legislative requirement to sign the prohibitions for the additional yellow kerbline.These lines offer enhanced prominence and visibility. It is generally considered that a blanket 24-hour ban on parking is not required, and only leads to noncompliance, thus bringing the system into disrepute.This alternative form of marking will allow the prohibition to be more targeted and therefore more enforceable. 56 |
